Electoral district of Ramsay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ramsay is an electoral district of the House of Assembly in the Australian state of South Australia. It is named after Alexander Ramsay (1914-1978), who was General Manager of the South Australian Housing Trust for 25 years and devoted to the improvement of South Australian life. It is a 24.4km² suburban electorate north of Adelaide - based on the angle between Main North Road and the Port Wakefield Road, Ramsay covers the outer northern Adelaide suburbs of Salisbury, Brahma Lodge, Salisbury Downs and Salisbury Plains as well as parts of Paralowie, Salisbury North and Parafield Gardens. The last redistribution saw Ramsay lose Mawson Lakes to Port Adelaide.

Both representatives of the electorate have served as premier, including the current premier, Mike Rann. It is considered quite safe Labor, with Mike Rann winning over 60% of first preference votes in the 2002 election.
